Last night, the House advanced a bill to repeal background checks and safeguards on weapons that can be easily converted into guns.
If passed, this bill would arm domestic abusers and other violent criminals. It’s a direct assault on public safety.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.
End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.
And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

The Trump regime just killed a rule protecting millions of acres of western Arctic lands from fossil fuel drilling.
It’s yet another giveaway to Big Oil — which spent $450 million backing Trump and Republicans and lobbying Congress last year.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
